Lots of New "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" Photos and Story Details

Entertainment Weekly unveiled a bunch of new photos from "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," in addition to several story details. Check everything out below.

According to director Zack Snyder, using Batman in a follow-up to "Man of Steel" came from an idea for a "Man of Steel" post-credits scene. "I said, 'What about at the end of the movie we do a scene where there's a crate full of kryptonite delivered to Wayne Manor,'" he explained. "Everyone was like, 'Okaay.' Once you say it out loud it's a problem because you can't unsay it."

Kryptonite made it into the story. In fact, during a climactic rooftop fight between Batman and Superman, Batman will be wearing a reinforced suit that will not only give him super-strength, but is also lined with Kryptonite. One of the photos released by EW giving us a glimpse at the confrontation.

And regarding the shot of Bruce (Ben Affleck) dancing with Diana (Gal Gadot), Affleck said: "I love the fact that there was this 'Thomas Crowne Affair,' Bond-y sexy scene that they wrote about two people who are pretending to be two different people who each know the secrets of the other person."

Affleck also revealed that Batman has been protecting Gotham for over twenty years. In the film, he's "at the end of his run and maybe the end of his life. There's this sort of world-weariness to it."

Snyder commented on casting Affleck as Batman, stating: "I liked the fact that Ben was 6'4 and taller than Henry [Cavill]. I wanted Superman to have to feel like he was looking up to Batman despite being so much stronger."

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is set to hit theaters on March 25th, 2016.

I still say Jesse doesn't have what it takes to play Luthor, Gal Gadot is still too skinny for Amazonian Warrior Princess, and the battle between Supes and Batman had better be as epic as so many people expect, because if Snyder and Company flubber that part of the film, fans are goning to be PISSED.

re-watching 'Terminator Salvation' - never understood the hate for this movie.true,it's not on the same level as the first 2 and it doesn't have the same 'terminator' feeling to it but overall - a very solid action movie,much better then the 3rd one,that's for sure.
Even Worthington is not bad.

DONT PUT A SUIT AND CALL URSELF BATMAN ITS NOT HALLOWEEN U c*ckSUCKER .U NEED TO BE BATMAN U PIECE OF sh*t .
I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS FILM. I HOPE IT SINK.
THEY HAVE MADE EVERY MISTAKE POSSIBLE .
U DUMB f*ckS.

Rambo-
Gonna try to marathon them all before going to see the newest one. I also thought the 3rd wasnt as good. Don't remember much about the 4th either. Just remember how f*cking fantastic the 2nd was :P

A couple of observations (which have probably been better stated in the string of responses so far):

1. They spent all that amount of money on this summer film and yet Ben Affleck has another lousy haircut that looks like a reject from the Hairclub for Men ? Bruce Wayne is a billionaire for Chrissakes and he doesn't need to look like he had his hair cut by a mute, blind hairdresser at Supercuts.

2. Lex's look: And we all thought Gene Hackman's look in Superman and Superman II were awful.

3. The Entertainment Weekly Cover Photo: A Superhero/Superheroine Pose that looks like a really bad romcom or a potential three way porn.

4. Wonder Woman: Nice to know Vogue won't lose any sleep after Diana Troy has been pulled away from the runway.

5. The "Armor" Bat-Man and the crate full of Kryptonite going to Bruce: Kryptonite is still a radioactive material, despite with the Superman canon says, so even though Bruce gets superstrength and an automatic "growl" to his voice (which at this point sounds like Tom Waits doing a very bad Michael Keaton), he also winds up with super-radiation poisoning.

"We know the material.
Unfortunately, the fans don't know the material.
So, we're casting according to what's happening in the script," he said.
"And we're hoping that leads to enough originality, enough perspective on what we're doing that you get something fresh and exciting.
I understand the canon.
I'm not crazy.
I know what these characters need from a mythological standpoint."

Snyder said he expected Eisenberg, 30, to be "amazing" as Luthor, a role which has traditionally been portrayed by older, more established actors on the big screen.
"Let's not forget he was nominated for an Academy Award.
It's not like I just grabbed my friend to play the guy!
This guy's the real deal," he said.

I agree with the Rambo dude! I thought Salvation was pretty good and very underrated! Don't understand the hate either. Maybe it's just because Arnold wasn't in it

Amicko,

If you count how they CGI'd Schwarzenegger's face on the bodybuilder that came out to kill Conner *sigh .... again ?*, then TECHNICALLY there could be an argument that Ah-nuld was in it, even though he wasn't.

I just don't get it. These costumes look like cheap Halloween costumes and I don't get why Bruce Wayne is a dark, morbid d*ck. He's usually brimming with confidence and personality as Bruce Wayne and Batman is scary, but he doesn't sound like a sociopath (The Dark Knight gets a pass for actually being well-crafted).

I saw Genisys last night. It actually started out really interesting. Messing with the timeline everyone knew and the idea of fate was clever.

The problem was two BIG things. The dialogue sucked and Jai Courtney was a crappy Kyle Reese. Whoever wrote the dialogue decided to make KYle Reese, a f*cking PTSD veteran, a smooth talking action star. Emilia Clarke was fine as Sarah Connor but she lacked any real direction as an actress and, again, her dialogue sounds like it was written for a spunky character from an Aaron Spelling series. And finally pacing was awful. It was just one jumping the shark moment after the other. They didn't try to establish anything and just got straight to the point.

I think the reason Cameron ultimately signed off on this film was, one, he is good friends with Arnold and, two, he saw remnant ideas from his classic story. The pieces were there but not at all arranged correctly. And really...why the hell do the last two Terminators end with "We succeeded but the fights not over yet and we have to find ourselves". Salvation was a lot of things but at least it's story was more concrete in concept. I always enjoyed it for it's aesthetic work. Point is, with Genisys they tried to make a Back to the Future film here. And it would have worked if there weren't a thousand plot holes that need answering. Like how the hell Judgment Day got pushed back 20 years to 2017 or how Dyson was involved. Just very silly. This film actually could have been interesting, and at times it was, but it was just too all over the place and I don't think it knew what it was trying to be.

And regarding the shot of Bruce (Ben Affleck) dancing with Diana (Gal Gadot), Affleck said: "I love the fact that there was this 'Thomas Crowne Affair,' Bond-y sexy scene that they wrote about two people who are pretending to be two different people who each know the secrets of the other person."

Well Ben, if you weren't so busy making sh*tty films you might have found the time to recognize that this scene is ripped directly from a Justice League cartoon written for 6 year olds. Here it is on youtube

There Ben. I've done your character study for you.

@Porn-Fly
That damn article about Snyder deserves the Pulitzer prize. It lays out perfectly why Zack is such a dipsh*t. Dark Knight made a zillion dollars because it was "dark, gritty, and real." Let's do the same thing with a story about a flying alien. Ummmm....no dipsh*t. You've completely missed the point of both Superman and Batman. What a dumb ass. Go make Sucker Punch 2 then pull a Tony Scott.
